The Buchholz-Goodhue apparent power definition: the practical approach for nonsinusoidal and unbalanced systems

In unbalanced, nonlinear polyphase systems, ihe apparent power mn be measured using a definition given by F. Buchholz (1 922) and explained by W.M. Goodhue (1993). This apparent power is based on a practical approach that allows the evaluation of power components that aflect unbalance. line losses, current distortion and power factors.
